The gallery doors are open to a glorious day in the city as we install Barry Hodgson's solo exhibition Newfoundland, PEI & Ontario.  Hodgson's 2011 solo opens Thursday, June 2nd.  A reception with the artist present will be held at the gallery on Saturday, June 4th between 2 and 4pm.  Last month's memorable Sara Sniderhan opening was drenched in a lovely quality of light.  Our congratulations to Sniderhan as My Name is was her first solo with the gallery.  We enjoyed discussing with all of you Sniderhan's career and her approach to art.

Newfoundland, PEI & Ontario

2 - 22 June . 2011

Reception with the Artist: Saturday, 4 June 2-4pm

The wind helped me paint this one.  ~ Barry Hodgson

Hodgson is most mindful of Canada's rich legacy of Canadian landscape painters.  Drawing from a pure, minimal approach comparable to that of David Milne and Barker Fairley -- Barry Hodgson sets out to capture an immediate impression of the land.   

Rendering the character and mood over observed beauty, leads to a remarkable purity in Barry Hodgson's works.  The interpretation, the moment, is chronicled by what is seen, paired equally with what is felt and known about the great Canadian fact.

Hodgson's new works range in scale and media.  His canvases and boards are painted in oil, and the series also features works on paper in Hodgson's signature mixture of ink, pastel, conté and/or watercolour.  

Please visit our website to preview a cross section of the new works, as well as fantastic photographs of Barry Hodgson at work in the field: www.ingramgallery.com.

Public Exhibitions & Artist Workshops

The celebration of International Museum Day this past May 18th, prompted many enjoyable and lively discussions at the gallery about the importance of art in public galleries and spaces.  With these topics in mind, we are pleased to share some news with all of you.  Brian Burke will be exhibiting a work from his Lullaby series in a major summer exhibition at P.E.I.'s Confederation Centre of the Arts.  Barry Hodgson wraps up his participation in a group exhibition at the Wellington County Museum & Archives on June 5th, and Jon Claytor will be exhibiting five works this summer in Montreal alongside MFA students in Fresh Paint, New Construction.

Recent discussions have also focused on the many workshops and seminars available to, and offered by, artists.  Sara Sniderhan, through The Leslieville School of Art, will be offering two workshops in June: Painting from Life and Mixed Media Fun.  Studio Santo Spirito, where Sharon Okun paints alongside Adam Markovic, will be hosting workshops this summer in Florence, Italy.

Please contact the gallery for full details on any of the above events.
